Waterman's Ideal 52 Store Demo Pen - My First Restoration!

In this video, watch as I restore this 1928 Waterman's 52. This fine pen had seen better days and with an eBay buy it now at a reasonable price, this was a project I was willing to take on!

Back in March, I watched a video from ‪@penkino1‬ about how to replace the lever box on a Waterman pen. Seemed simple enough until I broke the dang thing. This is my first attempt at restoring one of my own pens since then and I honestly had a blast doing it. Still, I will leave the big work for the pros!

Check out my Virtual Waterman's Museum! More pens are being added each week!
